Second teenager arrested over fatal hit-and-run collision in Dublin released without charge
A boy in his late teens was detained at a Garda station in Dublin today.
GARDAÍ HAVE ARRESTED a second person as part of their investigation into a fatal hit-and-run that occurred in Dublin last July.
The teenager arrested today was released without charge.
The collision occurred in Baldoyle in the early hours of 17 July.
A man in his 40s was killed and the driver of the stolen car failed to remain at the scene.
It’s believed the vehicle involved was stolen by a gang of car thieves operating from the west of Dublin city.
A boy in his late teens was detained at a Garda station in Dublin today, a Garda spokesperson said.
“He has since been released without charge and a file will be prepared for the Garda Youth Diversion Office.”
The other person arrested in connection with the collision, a man in his late teens, was also released without charge and a file is being prepared for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, gardaí said, adding that investigations are ongoing.
